If I can procure some footage of those three famous innings, I shall be making an alternative video to the "Don't Worry Skippy", as also previously mentioned.
I'll also be offering you a large sum of money for them. I can't find them anywhere. I've emailed stacks of people too.

Busta Rymes & Ozzy Osbourne - This Means War - Brendon McCullum (In Form)

[Ozzy Osbourne]
Take a look inside
You can run and you can hide
If you cross my path
I'll make sure you feel my wrath
Give and you receive
Cherish every breath you breathe
Scriptures on the wall
Those who betray all must fall

Nobody helps them
Now he has his revenge

[Busta Rhymes]
Whatchu gon' do? Whatchu gonna do?
Where you think you can run, or you can hide?
Where you think you can run, or you can hide?!!
Where you think you can run, or you can hide?!!!
Where you think you can run, or you can hide?!!!!

Mathew Sinclair----Elton John & Kiki Dee - Don't go breaking my heart. Elton John is NZC. Kiki Dee is M.Sinclair.

Hmm...

NZC: don't go breaking my heart
MS: I couldn't if I tried
NZC: oh honey if I get restless
MS: baby you're not that kind
Both: oohhooo, and nobody knows it
NZC: oo-when I was down
MS: I was your clown
Both: oohhooo, and nobody knows it
NZC: oo-right from the start
MS: I give you my heart... oohhh-hoh, I give you my heart
NZC: so don't go breaking my heart
MS: I won't go breaking your heart
Both: don't go breaking my heart

Are you absolutely sure you didn't mean the other way around?

I think either way it woerks... it probably depends on whos pov you are looking at on the lyric side of it..

I think the song sums up NZC treatment of Sinclair ..right from the start I gave you my heart.. debut 215 runs.. yet when you were down NZC low on who to select.. they picked Sinclair yet treated him like a clown...

"When I was down I was your clown" doesn't mean that, though, does it? :p It means "when I was down you cheered me up".
